Givre To capture the quality of water in this intermediate state, Claire Choisne created “Givre,” a new kind of jewellery set that recreates a cascade of stalactites dripping down the body.A hair jewel, an earring, a shoulder jewel and a ring succeed one another in a melting flow dictated by gravity. Here again, metal takes a back seat to highlight the precious elements of pearl, mother-of-pearl and diamonds. No fewer than 691 pearls were needed to craft these pieces. Fulfilling the Creative Studio’s vision posed a real challenge for Boucheron’s stone experts: they had to assemble a group of pearls that are all exactly the same colour but vary in dimension. The ring itself appears to be in a constant flow state, with a rotating ball-bearing mechanism that keeps its elements always hanging vertically downwards, like ice melting.
